EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the summer of 1931, this enchanting print takes us back to a bygone era at Exmouth Beach, Devon. The GWR (Great Western Railway) had a knack for promoting idyllic holiday destinations, and this picturesque scene is no exception. Against the backdrop of a cloudless August sky, several small boats gently bob on the calm waters of the sea. The Fairy Queen and Rose steal the spotlight as they proudly display their names painted across their hulls. These vessels epitomize leisurely exploration and carefree adventures that awaited holidaymakers during those golden years. Families would have flocked to Exmouth Beach seeking respite from bustling city life, drawn by its sandy shores and refreshing coastal breeze. As we gaze upon this timeless image, it transports us to an era when vacations were simpler yet filled with endless joy. The beachgoers' attire reflects the fashion trends of the 1930s – women donning elegant dresses while men sported smart suits even in seaside settings. This photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of how much has changed over time while also evoking a sense of longing for those cherished moments spent along England's coastlines. It encapsulates not just an era but also our universal desire to escape daily routines and immerse ourselves in nature's tranquility.
